Oleksandr is on a walk in the courtyard with his two-year-old daughter Michelle in Saltivka, Ukraine.
Oleksandr and his wife are doing all they can to protect their two-year-old daughter.
"She's afraid of everything,” he says, sadly. “Noise, fireworks, air alarms, but most especially explosions. She starts crying and trembling."
He and his wife live in northern Saltivka, in the Kharkiv region. With the violence still raging, they do all they can to comfort Michelle.
"We take her in our arms and hold her close,” says Oleksandr. “The best security we can give her right now is the hugs of her mom and dad.”
For almost a year, the lives of children and their families living in Ukraine have been turned upside down. As well as the daily threat of shelling, landmines and power outages, people lack access to health care, education and basic essentials.
"Many people escaped from Kharkiv due to the hostilities,” says Oleksandr. “In some areas, there are almost no people. It's difficult to find a professional doctor for a child because there are not enough healthcare workers. And sometimes it's even difficult to find and buy the necessary medicines.”
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and its partners are working around the clock to support families in Ukraine, providing medicines and equipment to hospitals, generators and bomb shelters to schools, and winter clothing and cash assistance directly to families.
